Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Thomas Weimbs received his doctoral degree from the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Cologne, Germany, in 1993. He conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of Anatomy, University of California at San Francisco until 1999. In the same year, he joined the Department of Cell Biology in the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic as an Assistant Professor where he established his research laboratory focusing on investigating membrane trafficking and epithelial cell polarity as well as molecular mechanisms underlying polycystic kidney disease. In 2005, Dr. Weimbs was recruited to the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and moved his laboratory to UCSB. Dr. Weimbs is currently an Associate Professor in MCDB and in the Neuroscience Research Institute.
In this episode, Drs. Tro and Thomas talk about how Dr. Thomas became interested in researching PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), what PKD is, research that Dr. Thomas has done on the impact of ketosis on PKD, a recently published paper on the negative impact of the ketogenic diet on kidney health, how Dr. Thomas’ colleagues have reacted to his research, and lifestyle intervention programs using ketogenic metabolic therapy.

Episode 319: Dr. Diljan Mansoor
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Diljan Mansoor is an advocate for low-carb diets as a treatment for metabolic illnesses. He is an internal medicine doctor and is Nepal’s first low carb practitioner. His non-conventional low-carb approach to fixing chronic disease drew the attention of regulatory authorities and he was soon shut down. He was finally able to reopen his clinic, and he now conducts one-on-one sessions, helping metabolically ill patients improve their health through dietary intervention.
In this episode, Drs. Tro, Brian, and Diljan talk about how Dr. Diljan discovered the low carb diet, how and why his clinic was shut down by the authorities, effectively progressing the low-carb message, the amazing work that Dr. Diljan has been doing with his patients, and the value of individualized care.

Episode 321: RD Dikeman, PhD
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. R.D. Dikeman, PhD, is a theoretical physicist and loving husband of Roxanne Dikeman, PhD, a clinical psychologist. Their world was turned upside down when their young son David was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After following conventional dietary advice for this condition led to uncontrollable blood sugar, dangerous “hypos,” and many sleepless nights, R.D. discovered the work of Dr. Richard Bernstein, MD, a medical doctor who has used a low-carbohydrate diet to control his own type 1 diabetes for more than fifty years and pioneered some of the most groundbreaking research on low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes in the modern era. Through working closely with Dr. Bernstein and as a founder of the Type One Grit online community, R.D. has helped provide thousands of other individuals and families living with type 1 diabetes with information to reduce the threat of complications and attain the truly normal blood sugars that all type 1 diabetics deserve.
In this episode, Drs. Tro, Brian, and RD talk about what drew RD into the world of Type 1 Diabetes treatment, RD’s son’s Type 1 diagnosis, how the Type One Grit group came to be, why low carb is the optimal diet for diabetics, how to still eat what you want on a low-carb diet, big problems with the ADA, why Type One athletes do better on a low carb diet, the upcoming Low Carb Boca conference, and why having courage and integrity is needed in order to bring life saving information to Type One diabetics.
